dark star Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Hi, does anyone have any advice where to buy a laminate material for the altitude bearings of a dob mount? If possible a shop and not on line.B an Q etc only seem to sell formica attached to kitchen worktops at around £100! Is formica any good and if so where can I buy a sheet?I have tried a floor tile, but this does not work very well, as I had to stick a few pieces on with tape as it is not long enough and it doesn't seem to slide sufficiently.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101nut Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Try getting a local kitchen fitter to get you some. Apart from some quite nasty self-adhesive edgings which you can get boxed from B&Q, "decent worktop" suppliers often only supply edgings with worktops. Last time I bought a length of Duropal worktop I also ordered 3 different edgings in different colours and finishes, which generated much curiosity from the delivery driver!

allcart Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I have a few 1mtr lengths of 37mm wide worktop edging. (no glue) Send me your details in a PM David and tell me how much you need and I'll send you some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark star Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Thanks for the generous offer Allan, but I will give B and Q a try, I didn't know the necessary stuff was so easy to get hold of!I will post some pictures when I have finally finished, it has taken me a long time making the mount, but I have learned a lot!David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
